If you are anything like me, scanning documents can really be a hassle. For some reason, my printer will do everything except scan a document the way it should. It will scan as a photo (sometimes) but never as a pdf. As a result seems I am forever trying to find somewhere to scan documents. Well, no more.

CamScanner turns your mobile device into a scanner. Simply take a photo of your document and CamScanner will take care of the details. With CamScanner you can scan any document quickly, including graphics and text. Simply take a picture of whatever you want scanned. CamScanner then guides you through auto cropping and auto enhancing features which leads to a picture perfect image.

Once you are satisfied with the look of your document, you can send it off as a fax or print it directly from your phone. You can also email your document as a pdf or as a jpeg. You can do a batch scan or search through the documents you have scanned to find something in particular. You can even scan multiple pages or documents.

That’s not all. CamScanner will allow you to access, edit and mange documents anytime and anywhere. You can add notes to any document, tag a document for easy search, copy and move documents to other locations, merge document content, set passwords and restore documents to and from an SD card.
